Your relationship problems with your mother should not influence you being able to celebrate this day with your children if they want to celebrate it with you. Most children (little thru adult) enjoy finding ways to make Mother's Day special for their mom, you shouldn't take this away from your children. If you feel that you need an explanation for why you don't want to celebrate it with your mother, you could simply say that you and your mother have decided that it is a holiday that you don't want to make a big fuss about now that you both are older. Good luck and God Bless.

Do not put on your children your hurt and painful memories that you may have had with your Mother. On Mother's Day, go to see your Mother with the children, have a lovely card and gift and even if it pains you go through the motions, be a good daughter and show her love and understanding. Your children should not be exposed to the problems that you have with your Mother, as it will affect them as adults. You going to see your Mother will show them how they should treat their own Mother on Mother's Day. Children grow and are affected very much by the examples they see in their every day lives. It is called transferrence. Also I might add, try as you may, to reconcile with your Mother and make peace with her. She is your Mother and whatever the problem, you should try to come to some kind of resolution to this resentment you have towards her, because it is really not good for you or your children or husband. Life is very short, so try to deal with this the best way you can. Best of Luck...

You don't want your children to grow up not respecting you.
Do not spoil it for them. If they get on with their grandmother, leave them with her for a part of the day or a part of the weekend. It would be nice if you could even drop off a little token for her, even if you can't stay.
Remember when she goes that is it. You don't want to live with regrets.
You should also celebrate with the kids your own Mother's Day. Make it FUN!
Be careful of what you say to your kids as this may come back to haunt you.

Be happy and celebrate Mother's Day with your kids...you are their Mother, and that is worth celebrating. Focus on you being the loving mother of beautiful kids. So, it's more like celebrating "You"...not your mother.

Just because you may not get along with your mother. Do not ruin Mothers Day for your children.

stop associating mothers day with your own mom..... start appreciating your children and the love that you have ffor them, and let them celebrate YOU! that is what it is about. we cannot control our parents, but we can CHOOSE to be joyful with our own kids, no matter what circumstances we come from in our own families. I hope you find a way to enjoy the day this time around!

Thats fine if you don't like your mother. But your kids love you and want to show it. Let them show it, and and love them for showing you what you mean to them. This is your day now.
